Angel Investor Networks - Get Your Business Funded!

The following is a list of Angel Investor Networks which provide equity financing to your small or micro businesses based in Jamaica or the USA:

 

According to.wikipedia.org, an angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity.

 

A small, but increasing number of angel investors organize themselves into angel groups or angel networks to share research and pool their investment capital:

 

1. GoBIGNetwork

   Go BIG Network helps entrepreneurs find funding. They connect entrepreneurs with professionals, investors, customers, vendors, employees and advisors. The web site is like a "virtual rolodex", that enables entrepreneurs to connect with those who can help their businesses.

   
   

   They provide valuable information that takes you through the funding process: from preparing your business for funding, to knowing how to pitch to potential investors.




2. The UK Angel Investor Network

   The UK Angel Investment Network is an online platform connecting UK entrepreneurs and angel investors in the UK and internationally. Joining allows you to become a part of one of the world's largest online angel investment communities.



3. Caribbean Investor Network (Proceed with caution)

   Connects Caribbean entrepreneurs with Caribbean business angels, venture capitalists and business funds. (However, there have been complaints about transparency on this site, from site testimonials...proceed with caution!).



4. Inc.com's Angel Investor Directory

   For US-based entrepreneurs. This directory consists of angel investor networks in the US and its regions.

   
   

   Each network works in a slightly different way: Some may charge fees for making presentations and some may charge a fee to apply for consideration. Some even require an official introduction to the group by an angel member while others solicit ideas via the group's Web site.




5. VFinance Inc.'s Directory of Venture Capital Firms, Angel Investors

   AngelSearch™ combs US government records to gather investment data, industry preferences and total stock positions of America's wealthiest individuals. (A great resource for entrepreneurs).



6. AngelGroupNetwork.com

   AngelGroupNetwork.com matches entrepreneurs with angel investors who can assist with business start up,  business expansion or an invention you are trying to introduce.

    

   It is one of the few angel networks that allow you to post your proposal indefinitely, for FREE!
